I'm sorry I cited that example; if all anyone gets out of it is censorship. When it is an example of the fact that people have responsibility in what they do. And what they say.
What I said was to report the abuse of others, whether it is on-line or on your street corner. Our communities have grown, because of the wonders of technology. We as people, need to have a global community, not just to the corner store. We need to watch out for each other. That could mean calling 911, when you hear screams, or it could mean objecting to and reporting abuse of others that you see on-line.
where did i say censor? I said report abuse, of anyone! not just one group. All people have the right to live without abuse. Child or adult. woman or male gay or straight. any religion at all. Do not be the one who says "its not my place to stand up for the weak and voiceless." or "I didnt want to get involved, it wasn't my business." for people to read hate messages "of any kind" and turn away with a shrug, is the same as saying it yourself.
since when did abuses become ideas? what i sad was no one should sit by and allow abuses to those who cannot defend themselves; to go by with out comment or action! People who allow abuse without comment are not defending free speech.
Frankly, I am surprised that/.er's are shocked by this. Sometimes I wonder if people read their own blogs. As a child of rape\ incest. I think that all moral adults should take a stand, not be so lazy and say "oh freedom of speech, blah blah blah, we can't take away their rights." Well look around you, not everyone who has the ability to talk, should. If you look into recent history you will find that this is changing, as well it should. Not too long ago in Florida, a publisher was charged and found guilty to accessory to murder. He contracted and published a book called the "hit man" which was used as a blueprint to kill a woman , her disabled son, and his nurse. The boy's father who hired the hit man, the hit man who used the book, and the publisher, were all found guilty. The writer, a single mom of three, had not liked the project, and would only write it after the publisher, gave her a waiver to sign. So she was never charged.
Its not the dark ages anymore, not only wise\learned people have the ability to reach others in print, or other media. Any fool with access to a computer can touch thousands of other minds. We all as (hopefully) sane humans need to police the internet, consider it neighborhood watch if you like. Report abuse of other humans, in any situation.
There's no way to get around the fact that that people will be having sex, but as many who have read old science fiction know; any children born in space will not be able to return to Earth's gravity. So no longer would they actually be able to call themselves earthlings. Thus the answer,only people who have been medically altered (fixed) to not have children would be allowed to explore space. The big question is, what about monogamy and jealousy? When one can rotate partners at will in a closed environment, one will cause problems.
Anyone ever read "A stranger in a strange land"?
optout.com is a wonderful site to "opt-out" of receiving all credit card offer through the mail, I wont say it works 100% but it cuts them down quite a bit. Its run through the same system that allows them to ping your credit score.
Way back in '95 when I first heard of Bill Gates, It was on the news, he said " Our goal is to put a computer on every desk". At the time our computer cost us nearly 5 grand to buy and I did not know how to turn it on/ off. I literally had to ask my 8 year old child, (who had them in the classroom) to help me. Now I am pretty savvy, not nearly as knowledgeable as my husband of 4 years, who like many on this site, has used every operating system since before there was a print screen function. Now the operating system is nearly as expensive as the computer that runs it. But STILL very affordable in comparison.
Now We have 3 desktops, a laptop, printers, scanners, burners, mp3 players, wireless this and that. I can take my comp. apart and put it back together again. We have a flippin' comp in the garage, for crying out loud! Maybe their practices aren't the best, I agree. But Bill and Microsoft gave people like me a Gateway to the new world, no pun intended.
They put a computer on every desk.
I am definitely not a scientist of any kind, just an interested observer. But from everything I remember from science class, neutrinos travel at the speed of light or darn near. So , now if neutrinos have mass after all yet still have the these behaviors, does that mean that it is possible for light to have mass also?

reporting the abuse of a human being is not censorship. look the words up if you need to.

and how many people heard the screams but didn't pick up the phone to call 911?
